Urban plan - Construction density

Note: The Urban Plan (regulation 04-047) was repealed on June 16, 2025, this data is now obsolete, please refer to the data sets of the Urban and Mobility Plan 2050 (regulation 24-017).

The [map 3.1.2] (https://mtl.ged.montreal.ca/constellio/?collection=mtlca&portal=REPDOCVDM#!displayDocument/00000019294) expresses the building density for the whole city according to a 17-color scale that integrates the various density parameters. It is available in [section 3.1.2] (https://mtl.ged.montreal.ca/constellio/?collection=mtlca&portal=REPDOCVDM#!searchResults/s/9f45f91f-af33-11ee-9b08-4b10d95b597d) of the Urban Plan.

Construction density parameters make it possible to frame architectural production and to determine the scale of urban form as well as the intensity of activities on the various portions of the territory.

For each of the sectors to be built or transformed, the parameters set out reflect the intentions of the Plan as to the desired character. In established sectors, these parameters correspond to the general character of the existing buildings whose sustainability the Plan aims at.

Consult the [interactive map] (https://montreal.ca/services/cartes-interactives-amenagement-du-territoire) of the Urban Plan to visualize the thematic data.
